The 2012 Legislative Session came to a close on May 18. While arguably lacking in substance, three fourths of the 114 bills were passed during the last two weeks of session in a flurry of activity. In terms of the overall picture, there were 1,126 House bills filed of which 76 passed. Only 38 of the 506 Senate bills passed.

While the Senate works on appropriations in committee, the House and Senate give no indication that they are taking up any weighty issues on the floor. So, this week’s update will focus on the upcoming elections. The following candidates face no challengers in either the primary or the general election.
